A full list of these Terms & Conditions is available upon request from the Racecourse.

These Conditions apply to all persons entering the racecourse and grounds. These Conditions are issued by Cartmel Steeplechases (Holker) Ltd. Acceptance of these Conditions will result in a legally binding contract between you and us which include the terms of the licence which we have granted to you to enter the Racecourse.

It is your responsibility to familiarise yourself with these Conditions.

General Conditions:

Badges, Privilege Access Swipe System (PASS) Cards, tickets and other entitlements to enter the Racecourse are non-transferable. They may not be transferred, sold, offered for sale, couple or bundled with any other product or services or used for any commercial or promotional purpose whatsoever without our consent (which we may withhold in our absolute discretion).

No refunds shall be given in respect of any unused part of any badge or other entitlement unless authorised by the management.

Tickets must be paid in full at the time of booking. Your booking is only confirmed when full payment is received.

Restaurant and hospitality bookings must be paid in full one month prior to the event or immediately if booked within the 30 day period leading up to the event.

If you lose or misplace your tickets, you will need to purchase new tickets at the gate, on the day. After the fixture, please then return the used tickets by post to the Racecourse office and a refund will be issued subject to the initial tickets being unused.

If you exit the racecourse on a race day and you wish to return then you must have your badge scanned on exit to allow re-entry.

Tickets requested by post will be subjected to a £2.50 processing and booking fee and will be sent by Royal Mail second class post. Last orders for tickets to be sent by post are 7 days prior to the first race day of the race meeting in question. If you do not receive your tickets within 5 days before the first race day of each race meeting then please contact the office on 015395 36340.

For the 2018 Concert Early Bird offer, the following applies:
For a limited time only, customers are invited to purchase racing with concert tickets at a reduced price. There is no limit to the number of tickets per household this year.

Full refunds for tickets will be given if racing is abandoned before the first race. A 50% refund will be given if racing is abandoned before the third or featured race. No cash refunds will be given on the day, but will be administered by post after the meeting. Applications for refunds should be sent within one month of the fixture.

For music event’s (with or without racing included), once you have purchased tickets, they can only be returned, exchanged or refunded in the circumstances described below:

If we fail to fulfil an order as a result of any negligence, or similar act or omission of our own or in breach of contract the customer will be entitled to a full refund including any booking fee charged.

If the event is cancelled, postponed or material changes are made to the Event, namely a change of the venue or the headline act, the original tickets that you have purchased will remain valid for the revised event (except for in the case of cancellation) unless otherwise advised. However, in these circumstances, only the face value of the tickets will be refunded as these are circumstances beyond our control. If the tickets have not been despatched, the processing fee will also be refunded.

Refunds are made using the same method of payment that was used to purchase the tickets.

Attendees must ensure that badges are securely attached to their clothing on racedays and visible at all times and otherwise show badges, PASS Cards, tickets and other entitlements to officials at any time upon request.

We accept no responsibility for lost of stolen badges, PASS Cards, tickets or other entitlements. The Racecourse has no obligation to replace a lost or stolen badge, PASS Card, ticket or other entitlement. In the event that we decide to replace a lost or stolen badge, PASS Card, ticket or other entitlement, we may charge a fee to do so.

We reserve the right at any time an without prior notice to refuse admission to or expel any Attendee who, in our reasonable opinion:
